Ice cream social was tasty

On behalf of the officers and trustees of the Kent Historical Society, I would like to thank everyone who made our ice cream social such a success.

We had a variety of ice cream, ranging from vanilla, chocolate and strawberry donated by Casey Stone of the Chuckwagon Restaurant; Italian gelato, donated by Panini; and last but far from least, old- fashioned homemade peach ice cream hand-cranked right there by George DeVilbiss and a few young helpers.

Many local businesses donated flowers, balloons, food, decorations, ice and the tent.

Our wonderful crew of volunteers set up, served and cleaned up after the event.

Karen Stevens had a long line of children at her face painting station. Tedd and Megg Hoffman brought two of their miniature donkeys, and Carol and Brent Kallstrom brought two handsome goats; all four animals wandered around (on leashes) to entertain the crowd.

Since we did not charge admission to the social, we are very grateful to the following businesses and organizations for their donations of the ingredients of our wonderful Ice Cream Social.
